To be quite honest, he SHOULD have publicly said he was going to nominate the best PERSON and then gone ahead and nominated her. IMO that looks MUCH better for EVERYONE involved.

I have no idea what Jackson's political persuasion is, but for this white guy with no legal cred whatsoever to question her credentials is at least sexist, and quite possibly racist as well. It evokes memories of the idiot men who questioned Dr. Biden's degrees with no rationale that could stand up to logic. It was all political then, and it's all political now. And it's disgusting in my book. The same people who do this to Dr. Biden and Judge Jackson will do the same thing to Dr. Mayim Bialik and Dr. Danica McKellar, writing them both off as mere actresses, and not scientists and mathematicians. Heck, I wouldn't be surprised if they were to write off Dr. Brian May as a mere "musician." It's elitist and disgusting, in my book....

Neither is. Reagan was also wrong. But Reagan limited his pick to 50% of the population. Biden limited his to 6%.

Re: Supreme Court Poll
Differentiating based on gender and/or race is either right or it isn't. The difference is that you will jump through whatever logical hoops you need to to make liberals look bad and conservatives look good.
I actually agree with you that Biden (and Reagan) shouldn't have made that public statement. But my primary concern is that he nominate a qualified candidate which he appears to have done. You have trouble tearing down his nominee so you're taking shots at his words.

And Biden was worse- he took gender and added race (the only POTUS to inject race into his pick).

They're all bad so not a yuge difference. You want to frame it as a yuge difference because of partisan bias.

Our political landscape is increasingly shaped by the independent voters who are not ideologically locked into one party or the other. The Dems’ behavior did not hurt them at all with their base voters but it certainly hurt them with independents. That is one reason we saw the GOP perform so unexpectedly well down ballot in the last election.

Re: Supreme Court Poll
Yeah, 6% versus 50% not a yuge difference at all.
That’s like saying all crimes are bad, therefore they should all receive the same punishment

He limited his pick to a very small subset of 50% of the population.

Still wrong, goober.
When Reagan said female he meant white females.
Before your time but a non-white female would have been unthinkable in the early 80s.
